Trying to Catch the Wind: an Interview with Jenova Chen, Part 1

Interview with Jenova Chen

“We should find ourselves indulging in similar daydreams if we started musing under the cone-shaped roof of a wind-mill. We should sense its terrestrial nature, and imagine it to be a primitive hut stuck together with mud, firmly set on the ground in order to resist the wind. Then, in an immense synthesis, we should dream at the same time of a winged house that whines at the slightest breeze and refines the energies of the wind. Millers, who are the wind thieves, make good flour from storms.” – G.B., 1958

Wing Commander: Privateer Gemini Gold, now with Righteous Fire!

PrivateerGG-CDCover

The hard-working PGG Development team announced today that their Wing Commander: Privateer Gemini Gold got a major update, and now supports full speech for the Righteous Fire add-on pack. If you haven’t played Privateer, you’re missing out on one of the only space adventure/simulators that was worth giving a damn about in the torrent of mid-90s crapola. PGG is a complete graphical and engine revamp of the original game, and plays spectacularly on modern PCs; the team went through the trouble of rebuilding every ship and texture, as well as port over all of the music and sound.

It’s playable on Mac, Linux, and Windows. And it’s free. Head over to http://privateer.sourceforge.net/ and give it a shot.
